Exercise

What is exercise? Have you guys seen the "lets go walking Mississippi" commercials? Is that all we need to do to maintain a healthy functional lifestyle? Government web sites state: 30min of cardiovascular 4 times a week. Also stated on the page is: SOME EXERCISE IS BETTER THAN NONE... wow, now I wonder who discovered that?

Our ancestors used to live a hard life style. They had to hunt for their food and grow their own vegetables. Currently, we as Americans think it is our right to have McDonalds, Pizza Hut and the like... I call BS on that. We think exercise is a 20min walk on the tred mill, 3x10 on a cable something or other and then we polish it off with this thought, "I worked hard today, I'm going to a drive thru... because I deserve it." ?! All I can say to that train of thought is this: Good luck with that. If you work out hard like we do, reward yourself with results... not mediocrity. Break the chain or habit. Do something for yourself for once.

Warm up: 5 pull up, 10 push up, 15 squats, 20 kbs, run 400m

Skill: 15, 10, 5 of push up and HSPU. Put a plate on your back for added FUN!

WOD: 3-3-3-3-3 Hang Power Snatch or Split snatch.
